Giants news, 3/14: Free agency starts — unofficially — on Monday

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Free agency and trade buzz - Latest on Baker Mayfield and other QBs, teams ready to spend, the receiver market and more

What might happen with the Giants? Here are thoughts from Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler:

More and more, I'm getting the sense that Saquon Barkley won't be on the Giants in 2022. The team is open to trading him, as GM Joe Schoen indicated at the combine. And while his $7.2 million salary isn't the top target in New York's cap-saving efforts, it would help. The Giants' hope is that a contending team with a need for one more explosive player on offense (Buffalo or Arizona?) might offer a midround pick for Barkley. -- Graziano

Schoen has been active in restructuring contracts, often at lesser pay. But in the case of cornerback James Bradberry, the belief from some around the league is the Giants will be able to swing a trade for him. His $21.9 million cap hit is problematic, but quality corners are hard to find. One logical spot is Las Vegas, where defensive coordinator Patrick Graham knows him well. -- Fowler
